This book examines the practices of the NCAA and its member institutions and their treatment of the 'student-athlete.' It takes a behind the scenes look at the history of the NCAA and how and why it was established and how it has evolved into the organization that it is today. In particular, the book focuses on Division I institutions that put a higher priority on athletics than academics. It addresses the definition of a student-athlete, according to the NCAA and what that means for college athletes today? As authors, we the come to the conclusion that the NCAA needs to continue reforming in order to better provide for the well-being of its student-athletes.
